About Me
Wow...I came to update this section and saw that I hadn't updated my daughter's age since she was 4! Time flies...This is where I could say photography helps with that, but we all know beautiful photos are just a Band-Aid for a lack of presence. (Insert cliche here!) Anyway, I can usually be found editing photos with my now SIX year old daughter Ruby nearby and a cup of coffee in one hand at my over 100 year old home in South-Central Indiana.
I started photographing professionally while I was attending college in 2012. Although I studied photography at Indiana University, I credit years of experience working with many different people in my growth and love of the art. I have held various day jobs that I attribute to my story-telling eye: as a journalist for a county newspaper, a behavioral therapist with children on the Autism spectrum, as a DSP for disabled elderly and even a keyholder at Spencer gifts! Most recently I enjoyed being a job coach and community coordiator for Disabled adults, and learned how to set my customer service skills on fire at a banking call center. (talk about quick problem-solving!) Currently, I photograph full time and care for my daughter. I am on the hunt for my next studio space, as I really enjoyed having one in Linton, IN for several years!
I have experience photographing both intimate and large weddings, romantic engagements, families, glowing mothers-to-be, bright-eyed seniors, fashion show and even products for Amazon.
Despite all of the different types of sessions there are to choose from, I specialize in telling love stories: both for couples and for self-love. Boudoir, or empowerment sessions- are an amazing way to boost confidence and to heal insecurities. I host a private, female-energy-only Facebook group for upcoming session info & inspiration including fun, limited edition sets for holidays! I aim to be an inclusive, safe space for all and enjoy photographing love stories of all kinds. I hope to be one of the best 'presence Band-Aids' out there. :)
Thank you for considering me- I truly love being a fly on the wall and showing you beauty you may not always remember to see!
